mathsurgery - Written calculations and checking year 9

All
• Understand and use the rules of arithmetic and inverse operations in the context of integers and fractions
• Use the order of operations, including brackets, with more complex calculations
• Use efficient written methods to add and subtract integers and decimals of any size, including numbers with differing numbers of decimal places
• Use efficient written methods for multiplication & division of integers & decimals, including by decimals such as 0.6 or 0.06; understand where to position the decimal point by considering equivalent calculations
• Carry out more difficult calculations effectively and efficiently using the function keys for sign change, powers, roots and fractions; use brackets and the memory
• Enter numbers and interpret the display in different contexts (extend to negative numbers, fractions, time)
• Make and justify estimates and approximations of calculations
• Select from a range of checking methods, including estimating in context and using inverse operations

Most
• Understand the effects of multiplying and dividing by numbers between 0 and 1; consolidate use of the rules of arithmetic and inverse operations
• Understand the order of precedence of operations, including powers
• Use efficient writtenmethodsto add and subtract integers and decimals of any size; multiply by decimals; divide by decimals by transforming to division by an integer
• Use a calculator efficiently and appropriately to perform complex calculations with numbers of any size, knowing not to round during intermediate steps of a calculation; use the constant, pand sign change keys; use the function keys for powers, roots and fractions; use brackets and the memory
• Check results using appropriate methods

Some
• Convert between ordinary and standard index form representations
• Express numbers in standard index form, both in conventional notation and on a calculator display
• Use an extended range of function keys, including the reciprocal and trigonometric functions
• Use standard index form, expressed in conventional notation and on a calculator display; know how to enter numbers in standard index form
• Check results using appropriate methods
